My brother who had 6 years experience underwent a 8 months process ... my other brother who was a scholar underwent a 7 months process .... so again, patience is key.

yes! patience is key

Hye. Im new here.

For me, I apply with petronas around August 2012

TA: May 2013

SI : October 2013

Medical Check Up : October 2013

Offer Letter: October 2013

Will report Duty on 2 January and straight away join pipe.

So patience is most important things when dealing with petronas..hahah

Nope I am actually their scholar so the recruitment process is a little "smoother" but I have already waited for 4 months after my Structured Interview for my placement.

hehe! sama pipe bro..jumpa nanti...

Mcm mana nak jumpa dgn manager petronas ?

Pasal apa nak jumpa Manager PETRONAS?

Thanks for the reply guys. But I have one more question .. Will PETRONAS inform you if you did not succeed or are you left to assume that since there is no call you have not succeeded.

The best thing keep on follow up with them...email the person incharge..usually they will inform you the result...

Hey, Petronas got vacancy for accounting post?

Hi bro Azraeil,

Need your guidance and help. I'm from electrical engineering. but I'm really interested in seismic and geo-exploration. Is there any chance for me since I lack the knowledge and skills compared to geologist? What skills do I need to enhance? I'm thinking of image processing? and does petronas has a geo/seismic department?

It's going to be very difficult because usually you will need some sort of degree in Geophysics/Physics or Geology to be able to do Seismic processing etc. Unless you can show you are capable of understanding the concept in seismic signal processing, the chances are very low.

Petronas would have an Seismic Acquisition (my borther is in there) but they don't usually have a seismic processing department. I know that Petronas Research has a processing unit/department though.

Hi azreil,

what does Seismic Acquisition in Petronas do? do they also in charge in data acquisition along with the services company? what's the prospect?

owh too bad.. i'm really interested in seismic data acquisition and stuff.. guess need more hard work and network..

whats the best group to head into? exploration maintainence production operation?

What is the basic salary for fesh grad engineer in petronas ?

4k

The unit are mostly manned by young fresh grads (like my brother) and old seniors. They will be the units who will plan for the seismic acquisition and then probably setup the scope of work and tender exrcise for the service providers. The fresh grads will usually go through the sismic acquisition project to learn the ropes from the contractors and after a while to supervise their work.

I have already told my brother to stay there at maximum 2 years, and after that to go for the Seismic Interpretation because that is where the demand is especially for exploration and development work.

so u are really interested huh? What do u know about seismic data acquisition then?

dont attack me with high level question I saw a project on DAQ and that hooked me up. basically i observe from electrical engineering point of view. The project used a daq kit and several microprocessor to acquire data from the ground (as a substitute to a real OnG seismic's data) and output its characteristic; humidity, liquid's volume, etc.

so I want to explore more but given the limited chance, I'm still clueless about this industry. and the explanation on internet alone is quite hard to understand.
